Unpacking the Gen Z LGBTQ Numbers
Almost 30% of Generation Z women identify as LGBTQ, according to a new Gallup survey. Could that possibly be true?

A survey released in January by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 28% of Gen Zers consider themselves LGBTQ.

What is driving this huge surge?
